If you’ve had gastric bypass surgery and now experience low blood sugar, you may qualify for a PBH clinical trial now enrolling in Port Charlotte, Florida. This study, known as the LUCIDITY clinical trial, is researching a new option for post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH).

PBH Clinical Trial Eligibility

To take part in the study, you must meet several requirements. You may qualify if you:

  • Are 18 years of age or older
  • Had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery at least 12 months ago
  • Have been diagnosed with post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH)
  • Experience multiple low blood sugar episodes each week
  • Have a BMI of 40 or less and stable weight for the past 2 months
  • Are willing to follow diet and activity guidance throughout the study
  • Can use the study’s CGM, SMBG, and eDiary devices as directed

Meeting these criteria does not guarantee enrollment. A screening visit is required to confirm eligibility.

There are also certain conditions that may prevent you from joining. You may not qualify if you:

  • Have received avexitide (exendin 9-39) in the past
  • Are currently enrolled in another clinical trial
  • Recently had major surgery (within the past 6 months)
  • Use medications that interfere with glucose metabolism or monitoring
  • Have known allergies to study-related medications
  • Are pregnant, nursing, or unwilling to use birth control if required
